An online performance of one of the most popular Noh plays, Funa Benkei, will be streamed for a limited time with English subtitles. This virtual experience offers something more profound than even watching the real thing at a theater — the organizers have created visual artwork to add to the performance, including a combination of video footage from the audience seats and on-stage, thus allowing to see the performance from all possible angles. Visit the event’s webpage for more information and special highlights on the upcoming Noh play.
Where: Online streaming, via Tokyo Tradition’s official website and Arts Council Tokyo’s official YouTube channel
